TB 128.3 did not work in Mac OS 15.0 Sequoia. So I called Apple, and they helped me re-install TB. It works fine now, but the layout looks weird. Instead of

Subject of message on left sender in middle date on right

I now get

Subject of message on left sender underneath date on right

How can I fix it? It is using a lot of white space around everything

Thank you

I'm on a M1 Mac Mini running Sonoma 14.6.1, and my Thunderbird quit several times. I restarted and this time it isn't coming up at all. I'm going to try shutting down and then starting up after a few minutes. It started after I made a new Folder n TB and put a file into it from Experian.

Thanks to the unnecessary and pointless meddling of Microsoft I am not unable to send or receive e-mails via Thunderbird. I constantly receive "log in failure message". When asked to re-enter the appropriate password I enter the never ending merry-go-round......I have 6 addresses. Whilst it is possible to access then via their specific accounts held with Microsoft this is time consuming,hence the preference of Thunderbirdb which up until now has been trouble free for approx 15 years. This unnecessary development makes me wonder why I only need a user naame aand password to access via Microsoft. I have tried every method kindly provided by other users to no avail. Can anyone provide the correct server setting for both IMAP and SMTP? As I have said these 'new' authentification/s are in my opinion tantamount to using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. I hope my explantion makes sense? Surely I cannot be alone?

I have accounts from Outlook Mail through GoDaddy and Gmail on my Thunderbird desktop app. After the update on 9/17/24 I am unable to send from any of my 3 accounts. Please help.

How do I figure out what is interfering with Thunderbird printing? I can start in safe mode and it will detect the printer and print but then I lose formatting I like on the home page.

Hello,

I am still having problems with Thunderbird crashing on startup

I first asked about this issue on the 2nd September, here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1461731

I have been submitting Crash reports per business day except for the last couple.

Here are the Submitted Crash ID's, I have been submitting reports as the crashes happen. :

Crash ID: ⁨bp-3b69ccf2-e3c1-431c-bada-e4f2e0240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-4c4852b8-6599-40b5-97b1-943930240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-09a86b67-a698-4c2e-a98f-e89f70240903⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-526167eb-c915-47fc-8065-f0b140240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-8965165b-c579-415d-9cb3-cdd010240903⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-a8aaf596-7dfc-43b5-8526-e204d0240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-b45149f4-8bb8-44df-84e4-b78fe0240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-c284df19-7d63-469a-af6c-9ff6c0240903⁩

More available if needed

Notably, I have 2 computers each with Thunderbird, each accessing the same account. I have no problem on the other computer. I am using no addons on the crashing computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version, computer restarts - still crashing. I have checked my RAM. 16GB on board - Basic Graphics Processing - Intel Iris XE.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Ever since I upgraded to 115.10.1 (from a much earlier version, which worked well), Thunderbird is randomly very slow.

First off, at opening time, it takes ages (over a minute) to download some incoming (small) messages - while this was definitely not the case with the previous version I was running. Sometimes, it hangs (for anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds) while I am typing a message.

Also, e.g. today, I tried to send an email (250 KB or so): it just kept on saying "sending". When I clicked (after a few minutes) to stop the sending, the window closed without further ado and I couldn't find the message anywhere (not in the Drafts, not in the Sent). I did it again, it then hung on copying the message to the "sent" folder. When it finally said it failed, and asked if I wanted to have it copied to a local folder, I clicked "yes". Upon checking, it had stored it in the "sent" messages, not locally...

I am running Windows 10 Pro, with ample memory and disk space, and a fiber optics connection. The CPU is not overloaded at all nor any other ressource.

It is becoming increasingly annoying.

I was using Thunderbird for Windows 10 normally for many months. Recently, whenever I launch the app it immediately freezes, and I have to force quit the application. Reinstalling the app does not fix the issue. I haven't tried deleting my profiles yet, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

I get a message like this every time I start Thunderbird. The topic came up last year but the conclusion was along the lines of "...this problem will be fixed in version 128" but it was never clear whether or not the User followed Mozilla's support replies or what they had to do to clear the email message from Thunderbird. .....Well I'm running version 128.1.1esr and the problem still exists.

My questions:

1. What is Thunderbird trying to do? Compact individual email files? Compae from ct the whole Thunderbird Profiles folder?

2. Is the problem the size of the Profiles folder or the overall size of the hard drive the Profiles folder resides on? What is the Hard/solidstate drive is the maximum?

3. Is the problem related to the amount of Free Space left on the Hard/solidstate drive or is the issue the number of individual files?

4. Is the issue related to the number of Thunderbird files and/or folders OR is it related to the total number of files and/or folders on the hard drive?

5. Is there a limit to the number of sub-folder levels that Thunderbird can navigate?

Thank you.

I tried to send an email and got a message saying "The message could not be sent because connections to Outgoing server (SMTP) pop3.gmail,com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify your Outgoing server(SMTP) are correct and try again". I checked and they seem right but I cannot even send an email from one account to the other. The same message appears and I don't believe anything has been changed, aside from adding another address, that I know of.
